Stage by Stage Academy is the unique
performing arts school which has been based in the heart of Exeter since 1994. We are not part of a franchise: Stage by Stage devotes all its energy and focus to the young people of this area!
Our practical and progressive training prepares young performers to become confident all-rounders in singing, dancing and acting, either as a preparation for further vocational training, or
simply for the fun of it!!!

Integral to the learning process are the
full stage
productions we mount, which allow for real
on-stage experience for every single student. Our shows have garnered rave reviews in venues across the city, including ‘Annie’, 'Grease', 'Les Miserables' and ‘West Side Story’ at the
Northcott Theatre, as well as further afield, with ‘The Company of Wolves’ and ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ receiving 5-star acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival, and ‘Children of Eden’ proving a major hit
in London’s West End!

PUT SIMPLY, CONCERTS AND SHOWCASES ARE NO REPLACEMENT FOR THE
EXPERIENCE OF HAVING TO TELL A WHOLE STORY THROUGH SONG, DANCE AND ACTING!

REAL SHOWS - NOT "SHOWCASES"

Each show is designed to reinforce the training in technique carried out
in class throughout the whole STAGE BY STAGE academic year, and to challenge the skills and abilities of every one of our performers.

As a result of our training, STAGE BY STAGE students are frequently
cast in professional theatre productions, such as the national tour of ‘Annie’ and ‘Oliver’, BBC Radio and television, including leading roles in children’s TV programmes. Many of our
graduates have gone on to even greater success at top vocational colleges such as the Brit School, Mountview, LIPA, Bristol Old Vic, Arts Educational, Millennium College, Central School of Speech
& Drama and RADA.

A wide range of examinations are available through STAGE BY STAGE,
which is a registered centre for GCSE and A’ Levels. Dance and drama exam preparation is taken as a separate option by many of our students, who regularly achieve the very highest
grades. However, many students are equally happy to pursue our classes purely as a stimulating hobby.

performance!
